OK So I'm a fat pig !

NOT looking for 'oh no you're nots' .....I NEED some serious motivation !!! I joined the gym and weight watchers, - I start tomorrow (yeah good idea Marisa, start a diet like 5 seconds before you get your period!!) ANYWAY, my gown came in (REALLY EARLY) and i tried it on last night, and it fits, and it looks fine. - but i don't want to look 'fine' I want to look DAMN GOOD !!!
Any suggestions ?????????
- Sewing my mouth shut is not an option, although it's been considered

i'm doing ww also

STICK WITH IT, IT REALLY WORKS!!!!

I know the feeling- I just went back to work and after a summer of drinking, donunts face me!!! I have no self-control. I am going to a yoga class in 15 minutes- not that its going to help if I can't stop eating!

do you have a friend or does FH want to diet with you?

FH and I only lose weight when we do it together-moral support, keeping junk out of the house, all that stuff is amazing for dropping the pounds!

Eating is my favorite hobby. I've been trying to walk to lose weight but that isn't doing it. I have to go to the gym and do some serious cardio.

Drink water and stay away from all salt!
Helps me especially around the period except thats when I want salt the most.

I've been eating EVERYGHITN in site also! ha ha.... I HAVE TO STOP! this is getting redicilous.

I go (um, hum, BELONG) to Curves, but don't go as often as I shlud in the last few weeks, b/c I had a horiable cold, and now i need to GO back!!!!!

I'M SO LAZY!

I can relate....i joined ww on sat and have been doing nothing but eating all week. Im really stressed, and when im stressed (and bored) I turn to food. So i REALLY need help as well.....

Some say you can still eat when you are stressed but you have to change What you eat. haha like a rice cake or celery will really help my stress. I NEED CHOCOLATE!!! oops sorry not helpful am I. I am also trying to lose a lot of weight.

how about we form a buddy system to help people with w.w.

guys you really need to stop stressing because the more you stress the more you're going to eat 'bad things'

instead of feeling stressed about having a bad day of eating (or even bad week!!), start fresh!!!! forget what you did, forgive yourself for it and move on, because if you keep hating yourself for it, it's not going to get you anywhere.

believe me because i have had an eating problem all my life. if you want to do it, mentally with all your will, anything can be achieved physically i really believe that.

nobody can do this for yourselves but you...you're are THE ONLY person in control of what goes in your mouth...so you are THE ONLY person that can fix it.

stay postive, believe in yourself, and most importantly COUNT YOUR POINTS!!! WRITE THEM DOWN (even those bites licks and tastes here and there)!!!! it makes you accountable for what you are eating!!!

you are wonderful azoodie!!! I mean it!!

i have been struggling with weight all my life i go up and down. beleive me BLT's do count (Bites Licks and Tastes).
i have to constantly tell myself that if i dont have that cookie today I can have it some other time. I sometimes eat like the food won't exist tomorrow.
I did really good for two years I went from 185 to 110 in less than a year and stayed there for the 2 years. now i am back at 130 and trying to get down to 115.
water, excersise, and if you fall off for one day you can't get yourself in a funk you have to go right back on track. be carefull of people who try and make you eat also, the ones who say have some one peice of cake won't hurt. tell them it will. Be strong and make sure you are doing it for you.
good luck to all of us trying to loose the weight.

I completely agree. I lost close to 50 lbs on WW in 8 months. I have gained some back, but that is because I was just eating and not watching portions, which I have found is one of my downfalls. I have leard to have a Hershey's miniature if I want chocolate (okay so that took a while to get used to) but it does satisfy the chocolate, so does drinking fat free hot chocolate, another thing that took a little getting used to, but it can be done.

I am now trying to get as much weight I can off my 185 pound body before I go dress shopping on 9/25 so that they don't have to take it in too much. Started doing weight watchers at home 2 weeks ago and have lost 5 lbs, so it works. and drink PLENTY of WATER.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I'm in the same situation! NEED to get motivated...I went to the gym Tues. and plan on going tonight. Is it just me, or is there always a good excuse not to go???

I think I might try WW too...
